Rosa Parks Elementary School -

One of the best things to happen on Friday mornings is getting the listen to a first grade STAR reader! Day made🥰

Reminder: There is a PTO mtg tonight (Tuesday) at Rosa Parks starting at 6:00pm. We will be meeting in the library. All parents/guardians are welcome to join us and help support the students and staff of Rosa Parks! We look forward to seeing you.

Planning Ahead! If your current 5th grader is involved in Gifted Education at their SFSD Elementary, join us tonight from 6-7pm at Patrick Henry Middle School to learn more about the Middle School Honors Program!

Here are Rosa Parks Staff Spotlight for this week!

We have sold 137 pizza kits in 8 days! Way to go! Currently Kindergarten in the lead of selling the most pizzas but first grade is hot on their tail! I believe the first grade students are on a mission to tape Mr. Wagner to the wall!!! There is still plenty of time to get orders! We appreciate all of you and the support you have given to Rosa Parks so far! Have a GREAT three day weekend!

This weeks Wildcat Staff Spotlight!

SFSD's new Canvas platform allows students and families to access school assignments and homework anytime, anywhere. When winter weather can be predicted, students and staff will take devices home to continue their learning. Are you prepared? Check out the guidance BEFORE you need it!

Be prepared for school delays or cancellations caused by winter weather! This chart is an example of how start times would be impacted if SFSD declares a One-Hour Late Start. Review it now... before winter weather is here to stay!

Pumpkin fun with Miss Liz.
